   Chapter 10 Name

   The style of this map is too familiar to Zhou Mu.

  Although only a small part of the southern part of the Mourning Mountains is depicted, the style of this map is exactly the same as when Zhou Mu opened the map interface in the game.

   There can be no such coincidence.

   In other words, behind this map is likely to hide the clues of his old acquaintances, but it is not clear whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.

   Of course, judging from the fact that the opponent handed over the map to an Evoker, it seems more likely to be the enemy.

   But in any case, he couldn't miss this clue.

  Zhou Mu stared at that person, trying his best to put a sense of deterrence in his voice.

   "Where did you get this map?"

   Silence.

   "Do you want to say or can't say it?"

   is still silent.

   "That means you can't say it?"

   Looking at David who said nothing, Zhou Mu continued to ask.

  David replied through gritted teeth.

   "I can tell you everything except about the origin of this map."

   "I'm not interested in other things, this is all I want to know."

   "Then kill me."

   The answer from the other party made him somewhat surprised. Since he surrendered so decisively before, he must not be the kind of person who sees death as home.

   To make the other party choose to die so calmly, then the reason behind it is probably not greed or loyalty.

   should be fear.

   After all, in this world, death is not the worst destination.

   "I know that there are some ways to punish your soul for telling certain secrets. But it just so happens that I also have some ways to make your soul suffer the same..."

   "You don't even know..."

  David directly interrupted Zhou Mu's threat.

"You don't know what it means to be tortured by the soul, and you don't know what real terror is. You can threaten me with enough power to banish the staggers by yourself, but don't think I'm afraid. I tell you, Your power is nothing compared to that lord."

   "Very good, I finally have some eyebrows. Tell me who the adult you are talking about, and I promise to give you a happy death."

   The other party immediately closed his mouth.

   "Do you think that as long as you don't speak up, I can't do anything about you? If you have this idea, I advise you to throw it away."

   Zhou Mu waited for a few more seconds, seeing that the other party was still looking at death as if he were at home, he could only sigh helplessly.

   "Okay, it's your choice. To be honest, even if you did, I don't really want to do it."

   After saying that, he turned his head and looked behind him.

   "Liliana."

   "Ah...in."

   Liliana replied to him as if waking up from a dream.

   Seeing that girl's dejected look, Zhou Mu couldn't help frowning.

   "It's not your fault."

  Liliana's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she choked and said.

   "But how should I tell their family this bad news, how to explain why I am the only one alive, how should I face them, I don't know..."

   Zhou Mu picked up the discarded lead-colored staff from the ground, and handed the staff to the trembling girl.

   "Tell them that the culprit is dead."

   Liliana looked up at him in surprise.

   "This is also the only thing you can do to bring some comfort to the relatives of the deceased. The rest can only be left to time."

   After finishing speaking, a jet-black energy beam shot out from the Blighted Cold and hit David who was tied to the side.

   He fell down with his head up.

   Zhou Mu walked over and half-kneeled in front of the corpse that had just lost its breath of life. Released the Withering Cold in his hand, the staff did not fall to the ground, but floated beside him as if alive.

His right hand was covered with a hazy black phantom, and he put his hand directly into David's corpse - his hand penetrated into the corpse like an illusory ghost, and then pulled out from it. An equally illusory humanoid silhouette.

   That is the soul of David Orbis.

   He looked a little confused at the moment, and he didn't seem to understand what happened until he saw his body lying on the ground.

  + Where did that map come from? +

   Zhou Mu did not speak, but used his own will to utter the voice of his soul.

   To dictate the will of others by the law of one's own will.

   Master necromantic spell [Law the Dead].

   The expression on David's face changed from initial confusion to sluggishness, and then to endless pain immediately.

  + What is the name of the adult in your mouth and where is it? +

   Seeing that the other party still didn't answer, Zhou Mu estimated how much the other party's soul could bear, and used [Law of the Dead] again.

   The soul of the other party began to shake violently under Zhou Mu's orders, and it seemed that it was almost impossible to maintain its human form. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words with difficulty and slowness.

   "Flock...Father of Crows, City of Thorns..."

   He couldn't finish his words, because when he uttered the first word, three scratches suddenly appeared on his soul, and each time he said another word, the scratches deepened.

   After he said the name of Thorns City, the scratches directly tore his soul into pieces.

   Watching the tiny dots of light scattered across the sky as the soul dissipated, Zhou Mu fell into silence.

   This was the first time he saw a spell that had never appeared in the game after crossing. He didn't even know how to stop it.

   "Father of Crows... a name I have never heard of... and the City of Thorns?"

  The City of Thorns reminded Zhou Mu of some more urgent things to do now.

   That is to restore the Dusk Fortress, which is now in ruins.

   No matter what he said, he couldn't let the place that carried so many of his memories continue to be so deserted.

   But it is really not an easy task to restore the Dusk Fortress to its original state. The exquisite defense systems and functional designs in the Dusk Fortress have condensed the hard work of the strongest craftsmen and enchanters in the whole continent. Zhou Mu even doubted whether he would be able to reproduce this place in a thousand years. All the functions of the fortress do not fall.

   Even if it’s the next best thing, just fixing the frame is a big project.

   Ordinary building materials and labor problems are better to say, the big deal is to spend more time and energy to summon the Elemental Samurai to do coolies. But the trouble is that because of years of lack of maintenance, all the magic seal runes buried inside the building structure have been deactivated, and he has to build the entire fortress' rune system from scratch.

   This is a very important job, and it must be started together when rebuilding the main body of the fortress, which is equivalent to a house that needs to be routed before being renovated. Otherwise, even if it is repaired, the Dusk Fortress is just a stone fortress with its appearance, and it is completely useless against the invasion of the moon monsters.

   And re-laying the magic seal rune system requires a large amount of Elemental Silver—a magic seal metal that has a strong affinity for various attribute spells.

   Although his Treasure Hall has some reserves of Elemental Silver, it is only stored as a sample, and it cannot meet the needs of rebuilding the Dusk Fortress at all.

   And the largest source silver mine and refinery in the whole continent is in the city of thorns, at least a thousand years ago in the city of thorns.

   This, plus the fact that he is going to investigate the father of the crows who is unclear about his identity, it seems that he really needs to go to the City of Thorns.

   Zhou Mu once again held the Blighted Chill floating aside, turned and asked Liliana.

   "I remember you said before that you went to Offa University in Blackwater Marsh, right?"

Liliana had never studied undead spells, so the scene of Zhou Mu interrogating David's soul just now seemed to her that the other party walked over to the corpse and squatted down, then stood up holding something, and finally sent the message. Just stay for a while.

   She nodded, then corrected.

   "It's not the Blackwater Swamp, it's the Blackwater Province, and the Blackwater Swamp was an ancient name a long time ago."

   The other party didn't say much to her on this topic, but continued to ask.

   "Is the headquarters of Offa University still in the City of Thorns?"

  What is "still"? Hasn't it been in the City of Thorns since more than a thousand years ago?

   suppressed her doubts about the other party's strange question, and Liliana replied.

   "That's right, I've always been in the City of Thorns."

"Then, don't you want to go back to school after the things here are over? I happen to have some things to do in the City of Thorns. Since I'm on the way, how about I hire you as a guide on this journey? If you're paid, I'll use the pendant I used to pay for it. Now, what do you think of this deal?"

   How about this deal?

If    is just a guide, then this business is a huge profit!

  Although Liliana is not an expert in enchantment identification, this level of enchantment item is definitely the most advanced batch in the collection of the academy, and it is estimated that it can sell for tens of thousands of gold riel at auction.

   In contrast, hiring a guide to the city of thorns only costs a dozen gold riel at most.

   But the problem is that the other party is a heretic mage who has betrayed the laws of the stars. No matter which city he goes to, as long as he is discovered, he will be wanted by the church and the local lord.

   Of course, she has no doubt that this man with bottomless strength can easily escape. But at that time, as his guide, he will be out of luck.

   And, more importantly. She didn't know anything about this person except that he was inexplicably strong.

   This is really not a deal that can put you at ease.

but…

   The other party saved his life and avenged himself.

   In any case, this kindness must be repaid.

  …

   The girl named Liliana hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

   "Yes, I promise you, but before that, I need to know your name."

   "Name..."

   Yes, what should I call myself?

   Until this time, he began to think carefully about this issue.

   Zhou Mu? This comes from the name of the steel jungle in the previous life.

   But now that I have come to this world, do I still need to call myself by this name?

   He was silent for a long time, until a panicked expression appeared on the girl's face.

   "William Kane."

   He opened his mouth and said the name of the character he played in Second Life as if he was announcing something.

   The name that once resounded across the continent.

   "My name is William Kane."
